You can see The Thinker all over the world. In his lifetime, Rodin made at least 10 castings of The Thinker. Upon his death in 1917, the rights to recast it were given to the nation of France. Since then, that number has grown to over 20.
Once established as an independent sculptor, Rodin set up a large workshop. There was a great demand in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for both public and domestic sculpture, and Rodin was more than willing to disseminate his work to a wide audience. He authorised, for example, more than 300 bronze casts of The Kiss during his lifetime.
